New Hampshire police arrested transgender state representative Stacie-Marie Laughton for distributing child sex abuse images.
...
In 2012, Laughton, a New Hampshire state-level representative, was the first openly transgender person elected to a state legislature.
But he never took his seat, resigning after a prior felony conviction raised questions about his legal ability to serve.
New Hampshire politicians can only run for office after “final discharge” from prison. When Republicans noted that Laughton was still outside prison only on condition of good behavior, he resigned.
In 2020, Laughton ran for office as a state representative and won. He won again in 2022.
But at the time of his most recent arrest, Laughton wasn’t in office in his third Hillsborough district. He resigned in December 2022 after facing stalking charges.
The Epoch Times reached out to Laughton for comment but received none by publication time.
